WHAT DOES BLACK COUNTRY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Black Country

Coordinates: 52°32′N 2°2′W / 52.533°N 2.033°W / 52.533; -2.033 The Black Country is an area of the West Midlands in England, north and west of Birmingham. During the Industrial Revolution, it became one of the most industrialised parts of Britain with coal mines, coking, iron foundries and steel mills producing a high level of air pollution. The 14-mile road between Wolverhampton and Birmingham was being described as "one continuous town" as early as 1785, but the first trace of The Black Country as an expression dates from the 1840s and it is believed that it got its name because of black soot from heavy industries that covered the area. The Black Country has no agreed borders but to traditionalists is defined as "the area where the coal seam comes to the surface - so West Bromwich, Oldbury, Blackheath, Cradley Heath, Old Hill, Bilston, Dudley, Tipton, Wednesfield and parts of Halesowen, Wednesbury and Walsall but not Wolverhampton, Stourbridge and Smethwick or what used to be known as Warley.
